What are Gram-force per square centimeter and Centipascal

Definition of Gram-force per square centimeter

A Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one gram applied to an area of one square centimeter. This unit is not part of the International System of Units (SI) and is often used in material science and other technical fields to measure very small pressures.

Definition of Centipascal

The Centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system equal to one hundredth of a Pascal, the SI derived unit of pressure. It represents a very small amount of pressure, typically used in scientific and industrial contexts where precise measurements of low pressure are critical.
